[1.6.1 | 1.5.1 | 1.4.5 | 1.3.1] The World Beyond Development Thread [v1.1.1 - 2018-10-31]

Even more rings:

Harmony's colorful stripes:

 

Adeon's very thin ring:

 

and Newell's colossal disk - maybe not as elaborate as j1407b, but still the largest one here

[TheProtagonists]

sad news...

Due to how a star type scaled object interferes with shaders and atmosphere rings (and possibly screw up scatterer), I have to drop the "glowing Ori" idea...

The next best thing I can think about is making it VERY shiny...

description had also been adjusted for this change

The good news is that the rings are almost finished!

Brynhildr

Matterhorn

Shima

Amaterasu

[TheProtagonists]

The final rings are complete!

Overture:

Currently figuring how to scatterer

In other news Asteroids are now working

Every system besides Wall have at least one asteroid belt

and a few objects have asteroids around them

[Andi K.]

I really like the style of your planets! Very colorful and very different from other planet packs I've seen. Once you start adding Scatterer effects to your planets, I'm sure they will look even more awesome.

[TheProtagonists]

While I continue to figure out scatterer...

Biomes are now working!

Here's a sample one for Tengu

The fun part is that I get to add more references

The not so fun part is that I'm about to make ~90 of them

Great news! I have just figured out how to scatterer!

Which means that _^hopefully there won't be any more technical problems on the way to the initial release!

Here's the surface of Hyperion with scatterer:

dunno why I spent all the time landing this lander when I could just used parachutes though...

[TheProtagonists]

Figured out scatterer config tool!...

This is the surface of Keter:

It's blue and there is oxygen! (not thicc enough to take off the helmet tho)

 

And here's the Hellish surface on Horu:

_{^{whatever I tried to land here obviously didn't survive}}

Note that here I did not use scatterer ocean since that would make the lava very un-lava-like...

[UnionPacific1983WP]

How did I not notice this sooner?! This is incredible!

(also, Ebott and Frisk - Nice. Nice references!)

[TheProtagonists]

Forgot about the scaled look for those planets... so here they are:

Hyperion:

Keter: it's blue!

Horu: it's sunrise/set is blue!

[TheProtagonists]

New scatterers are being applied!

Faith: it's a lot greener than the actual ocean

 

Summit: really like how this turned out, would probably be even better after EVE

[TheProtagonists]

Gersemi now looks A LOT better

These wave effects sure are nice

but this is more of a pond than an ocean

[TheProtagonists]

New scatterer on Paradise and moons:

Paradise

Fantasy

Bahamut

Asgard

Heimdallr

Horizon

[TheProtagonists]

Some nice surface shots from a high latitude location on Paradise where you can see the ring

[TheProtagonists]

I apologize for the lack of updates in the past 1.6 weeks...
Was overwhelmed by all the development related and not development related things...

Anyway here's back to scatterers: all of Hikari's moons

No worries, I'm glad you're still working on this. Mostly because I'm not going to play again until this is finished

[TheProtagonists]

Resources are being implemented!

Initial release will contain support for CRP, FarFutureTechnologies, GroundConstruction and TheGoldStandard

Damn that's a lot of compatibility... for an initial release I mean

Eh... GC only has one resource (MetalOre) and TheGoldStandard only has two

Most CRP resources have GLOBAL_RESOURCE anyway so they don't require that much manual input...

[TheProtagonists]

While I try to figure out what's wrong with some scatterer oceans, enojy this awesome view of the sky from Asgard...

[Wilhelm Kerman]

How much was this inspired by Kerbal Star Systems?

The fact that there are multiple stars is definitely KSS inspired.

But the unrealisticness is most certainly not.

[TheProtagonists]

My scatterer problem is solved!...

and the cause is a lot more stupider than I would like to admit

 

Anyway, here are the rest of the planets near Dawn with scatterer

Surface view screenshots are being taken as I post this

The gas giants are here too!

[TheProtagonists]
